The Parliament of the World\u2019s Religions was a most\nextraordinary time of meeting, sharing, honoring and respecting all peoples,\nfaiths, traditions and beings.  A time of\njoy and exploration for peoples from all around the Earth.  The Parliament is deemed the largest\ninterfaith gathering in the world. Nearly 10,000 participants were expected to\nattend featuring more than 1,000 spiritual programs, lectures and interactive\ncultural experiences. The Opening Ceremonies began with a spiritual ceremony\nfrom Indigenous Nations on Turtle Island with greetings from the host First\nNation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the Mississaugas of the Credit and\nspecial addresses from local and international leaders. One could participate\nin 6 different tracts: Indigenous Peoples\u2019 Track, Women\u2019s Track, Climate Action\nTrack, Justice: Advocating Concrete change toward a just, peaceful &\nsustainable world Track, Countering war, hate & violence Tract and the Next\nGenerations Track. What an honor it was to be able to attend and participate!\nOur focus was on the Indigenous Peoples\u2019 Track. We could see the awareness of\nthe family of common purpose, taking responsibility for the transformation of\nstructures from a mentality of separation to one of interconnectedness. Sunray\nteachings abounded throughout the Parliament. Especially the Seven Reminders\nincluding, generosity of heart and action bringing peace and abundance for all,\nto be in good relation, pacifying conflicting emotion and experiencing the wisdom\nwithin. Wado! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
